The elegant simplicity of Saidit's format make it more difficult for schemers to game the system; relative to other platforms.

I agree. And I can’t speak about what has been done to address growth. I was simply addressing the issue of karma farming which I do think warps any discussion platform. See: Reddit.

So many of these “discussion” sites sell themselves as games to be games when your quality users don’t want games and don’t care about karma. Saidit addresses that issue about as well as our old plastic.com alternative I’d say. And they were top two but they are/were on the smaller side. You always have to look for how things will scale.
